The Latest Control and Measurement Technology

Accurate and Stable

Based on the field-proven and highly reliable Druck control technology, the new PACE5000 offers significant improvements in overall precision, long-term measurement stability and control performance over previous generation instrumentation. As such, it is ideal for integration into automated processes where fast and accurate pressure control is required.

Ease of Operation

A touch screen and a high resolution, 1/4 VGA wide display ensure that the PACE5000 is extremely easy to operate and read. It features a simple icon menu to allow ease of use and comprehensive functionality and connectivity, via RS232 or IEEE. A USB communications port provides for easy PC connection, the use of set-up software and diagnostics download for technical support. Modularity means that 100% uptime is virtually guaranteed with replacement modules of the same pressure range or different pressure ranges easily interchangeable. Only the control module itself needs to be sent for recalibration.

Up-to-Date Instrument

Status

The calibration and maintenance history of the PACE5000, along with its configuration, is stored within the instrument. The calibration history is automatically up-dated each time a calibration is carried out to ensure that calibration records are always up-to-date to meet quality assurance standards.

A Range of Languages

The default language of the PACE5000 is English but the major European languages, as well as Russian, Chinese and Japanese can be selected. Additional languages, to suit specific

requirements, can be easily translated and downloaded.

Supporting Services

Our highly trained staff can support you, no matter where you are in the world. We can provide training, rental units, nationally accredited calibration - both initially and at periodic intervals - extended warranty terms, multi-year Services agreements and complementary services.

Proven Software

The PACE5000 has been designed to communicate with the GE Druck Intecal software, which was specifically developed to provide support for both laboratory and field calibrations. This provides easy control in a fully integrated pressure calibration loop, giving 100% automated calibrations of pressure transducers and transmitters. Intecal software has full documenting facilities to prepare reports and provide calibration certificates from its database, utilizing readout data from connected calibration equipment and test devices.

Options

Soft options

The range of optional features includes:

• Enhanced Precision to 0.01% Rdg + 0.01% FS. • Switch Test – Automatic & accurate calibration of pressure switches • Leak Test – Automatically measures leak rates in the desired units/minute • Test Program - Write & save up to 100 test programs
